Connecting up to factory fuel rails: Jeep/Chrysler

Ok, almost ready to connect up the fuel lines to the rail, but I have to ask.

How the heck to these Jeep/Chrysler push-to-connect fittings work, and where can I get the fuel line side of the connectors? 93 Cherokee fuel rail with the integrated regulator.

Just squeeze the plasitc "tabs" on each side of the connector and then pull the connection apart. Kind of hard to explain. You can buy the plastic fuel lines with connectors (that attach to the fuel rail) from Napa or other autoparts stores. These connectors are very common for Chryslers and other makes, too. The kit you buy will come with a piece of plastic fuel line already attached to the connector and then a barb that is made to splice onto existing plastic fuel lines. Just soak in warm water and push the fuel line onto the barb fitting. I used EFI rated fuel hose and clamps to connect the plastic fuel line to the hard fuel line of the jeep. I just clamped the hose to the barb seems to work fine (no leaks). Let me know if you want some pictures, I'll try to take some.
